Sculpting Mythical Creatures out of Polymer Clay: Making a Gnome, Pixie, Halfling, Fairy, Mermaid, Gorgon Vampire, Griffin, Sphinx, Unicorn, Centaur, Leviathan, and Dragon! by Dinko Tilov, Boris Tilov
4.0
Pros:
- It's a fun read: each character has his own poem, and there's humor mixed in with the instructions.
- Great step-by-step photos.
- "Variations" page at the end of each chapter gives encouragement and guidance for tackling your own versions.
- Good info on armature and sculpture-building basics.
Cons:
- Doesn't cover much detail finishing work (texturing, smoothing, etc.), so the end results don't look especially polished.
- Characters aren't as charming as those in Tilov's first book, Creating Fantasy Polymer Clay Characters.
